Hi Everyone
Happy Saturday!!
What is your weather like?
We were woken up very abruptly at 5.30am by an almighty thunder clap .. .. so loud we thought it was a cannon going off somewhere! Just the one episode thank goodness .. .. and then rain pretty much ever since!
The lawns will definitely be happy as they were well ready for a good old drink!!!
No scheduled post today .. .. but a card I made this morning using the sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge. I think I am becoming addicted to sketches!!
This used:
Image: Penny Black "3864F" Bohemian
Backing Papers: First Edition Papers "Blank Canvas"
Spellbinder Nestabilities: Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Woodware Punches: Daisy
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine (although it isn't quite so trusty this week .. .. the light keeps playing up on it)
Leone Em Pty Punch: Ash Branch
Glossy Accents
Distress Ink Pad: Crushed Olive
Brad and Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box
and here is the sketch if you fancy playing along:
Hubby is just making a bacon, onion and mushroom sandwich .. .. yummy, yummy I can smell it from here .. .. so I am off to feed my face and then play with a few more bits of paper.
I love rainy days as you don't feel guilty for staying indoors!! LOL!!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Love
My poor lawn needs a good ole drink too. lol Love this beautiful card Jules. The papers are just gorgeous as is that butterfly!!! I love sketches too as it takes a lot of thinking out of making a card or layout. lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteA stunning card, love everything you have done on it.
ReplyDeleteWith me, rain on and I find it hard to get my Mogo working and it is pouring rain here!!!
Have a great weekend

I love this card Jules. Beautiful papers and such a cute butterfly.
ReplyDeleteHi Julies, Your card is a beautiful interpretation of the sketch, love colours and the butterfly is gorgeous. I love rainy days too for exactly the same reason:) The storm has only just reached us up here. After a morning of spits and spots it has just started to rain heavily and chased me in from the garden - which is going to love this unscheduled watering :) Hope you and yours are all well. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteLike you Jules we've had thunder and lightening again down here in Somerset, we lost our electric for a while but we are back on now...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card, love your gorgeous papers and your paper pieced butterfly...enjoy the rest of your weekend

Beautiful! Love the image and the fabulous take on that sketch.
ReplyDeleteThe papers you chose are so very pretty too!
Just to say...well I woke in similar circumstances this morning in the Alps, the rain has drifted off for now and we are due to go and see some chainsaw carving but I'm sure we won't see any pretty butterflies like the one your card:-). Enjoy the rest of the w/end.

wow totally gorgeous Jules!
ReplyDeleteThunderstorms are always exciting here, the lightning tends to march along the Lea River, which is only half a mile away! 'Thunderbolt and lightning! Very very frightening thing!' as Queen sang in... Bohemian Rhapsody!
ReplyDelete(Did you see what I did there?! Lol!)
Seriously, this is another lovely card, such pretty colours!
